Sundays have become my favorite day of the week. Now that Swen works on Saturdays, it's our only day to be together. He does have Tuesdays off, but we have mutual and scouts on that night, so Sundays are our only real family days. We usually get to see one side or the other of the extended family too, so that's a bonus. Plus, we get delicous food, AND we get to go to church. I have always liked going to church, but now that I'm older I really love to go and have my "spiritual bucket" filled. It gets harder and harder to have quiet spiritual time the more kids you get. Anyway, these are the reasons why I love Sundays. A few weeks ago, we had a particularly wonderful sunday. We played Charades, which I took pics of and posted, we jumped on the tramp, and we just spent lots of great time together.
Joe as a donkey
Swen as a gorilla
Me as a chicken (that is the WORST picture that anyone has ever taken of me-oh my goodness!)
Ike as a frog
Lissy as a sheep
O.K. This is another WORST picture. There were other cuter pics, but this one made our whole family laugh because I look so lame, so I thought I'd pass it on. I was trying to be Lightning McQueen with the "vroom-vroom" sounds. "Silly-Boo, Mama!" as Lissy would say.

Face painting gone BAD!
1. We are buying our first house! Can I hear some shouts of happiness from everyone, please! We are really excited. I'm in the process of going through every paper ever saved, and every box of "essentials" that we have carried around with us for years. I have spent hours, and taken many trips to the recycle bin. We also have a huge pile for DI, and one for the dump, too. I really don't like moving. This is our 10th move in 10 years of marriage. I'm ready to settle down for a few years! We are moving on Sat., Dec. 1, and will be staying with Swen's parents for about a week until our new house is done. Yea! When we're there, I'll have more time to add my other 5, but for now, I probably better run...

Hi,
Congratulations!!!! I am very excited for all of you guys. I of course, love to see all the pictures. I should forward some myself to you. Give everyone love. Sorry I haven't returned some phone calls, middle of finals. Two weeks left to go. I will call when I am done. Lots of good news. tiff
hooray for the new house! I can't believe it's already time to move! I also can't believe you've done it 10 times. You must be a pro by now. I also despise moving. When I'm rich I will have people pack for me. :) I loved the pics. And the one on the tramp, you look super skinny hot mama. Once you get settled we'll have to play.
